Drove one in Montana in the early 80"s. Seeding in spring. Then worked summer fallow and fertilized in the fall. They are amazing tractors. In fact it was still being used on the same farm a few years ago.
 
Lived in Havre, MT and know several people who worked there making them. I have been through the plant and around the tractors. I had an opportunity to be around the 735, it is awesome and breathtaking. I did not drive any though. Serious heavy metal. JimN

Neighbor bought used one in Montana years ago. Was still using it a couple years ago. It would outpull his big new JD's like they were standing still (according to him). He bought a 60 foot cultivator in Canada to use with it. Quite a rig.
 
When I was in high school they had a demonstration at the neighbors place in South Dakota. It was pulling a huge chisel plow and I drove it around the field once. The steering wheel and column was exactly the same as the one in my Camero. I also thought the build in beer cooler was neat.
